Mining

Commodities prices are volatile, and extraction capital-intensive. This makes project viability a central concern for mining companies. They seek to maximize the efficiency of exploration and production via accurate information on the quality and composition of the metals, minerals and coal they extract, and by preserving the integrity of their assets.

Mining companies also seek to preserve reputation by adhering to working practices that are environmentally and socially sustainable and ensuring the quality of shipments.
